More Secure:
Because of our strict write-only design, S4 is the only service that has provable
data-at-rest security. In fact, we leverage our own high-security system to illustrate
this proof, available here.

More Horsepower:
Our market research indicates the average customer reads data FOUR TIMES more often
than writing. By not only reducing but eliminating entirely these spurious operations
we can provide blazingly fast writes with a near 100% success rate.

More Integrated:
Consuming S4 is a snap with advanced integration options. Upload directly from our
website, send an email, tweet your content, or simply yell in an empty room. Engineers
can easily interact with our API via SOAP, REST, and YouTube comment - where they're
guaranteed never to be read.
Imagine the convenience of enabling your customers to open help tickets, provide
feedback, add feature requests directly to your shared, read-proof store.
